Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

😞 @Shaz51, can you visit a Dr who specialises in nutritional medicine? You must get tired a lot. Be gentle on yourself 💜

Yes this virtual Cafe is a lovely, friendly safe-haven to come to.

I'm glad that whoever it was (sorry I can't remember), brought me here.

It was either @Faith-and-Hope, or @Shaz51 (or both), I'm sure...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hello Shazz I'm not sure how this all works but thanks for the invitation to the virtual cafe. It's hot here so we've had a late dinner. My daughter has had her 1st session of DBT today. She says she has an open mind about it and that's all we can ask. Someone said on the forum last night about taking things one day at a time. That is how I live since my daughter's diagnosis. So today has been good...no dramas! I hope everyone else is going OK.

Yes something yummy, that sounds great @Shaz51 I can't wait to see it...

I hope you do get through to your nurse soon. That sounded abrupt & disheartening.
